I set out this week to learn more about what it means to have a green wedding. It may surprise you that you can still have an elegant wedding while still making aspects of it green. It has been said that a green wedding is more elegant because it involves materials that are clean and natural. I will let you be the judge.
You can start out your green process with the engagement ring. Choose an antique ring and then you can even update it with a new setting if you would like.
You can have your ceremony and reception in a place that is run by a charitable organization to the rental money goes to a good cause.
If you have guests traveling a long distance, give them a way to communicate to see if they can ride together.
For favors, you can give to a charitable organization in honor of the guests, and consider less packaging for favors you give out at the reception.
Pick attendants dresses that are made of natural fabrics.
Choose local flowers and organic foods to serve at the reception.
Anything you make out of paper, use recycled paper and when you consider your honeymoon, think of taking an Eco tour.
